too-easy

A wild guess, but it seems that a controller is simply not supported in .59. Either wait for the next update (exp usually gets updates rather fast) or play with keyboard and mouse.

Ah, you wrote it by yourself. For that it's not that bad actually. Yup, our grammar is almost impossible to learn. ^^ Thought it was from google translate. I am from Germany and even though France is our neighbor, chances are slim that they speak German. Just as most German don't speak French. True, many learn it at school but most will forget all about it again. ;)

Don't use the google translator for German (why German btw. when the OP is french?).Never gets it right. Doesn't make any sense. But I can guess what you typed in.

He didn't say that the guy bandaged him. Sounds to me that he dropped him the bandages and went on his way. My friend loves the masks but doesn't KOS. Wy judge someone from what he is wearing? It's not like in real life where a mask can hide someone's identity.

The zombies decided to support the development of the game and can only be found on the experimental servers at the moment.

Lol. Yeah, you should take that picture. :D Thanks for pointing out that he's talking about .59. I didn't notice that. Was half asleep when I answered. Might be time again to jump into DayZ and the experimental servers.

I thought there were no zombies in the game at the moment. Or are they just vere rare?

Nothing wrong with taking a break. I only played .58 on exp but never on stable. I have been playing the standalone since release but I just have other games that excite me more at the moment. I love DayZ but that doesn't mean that we can't play other games, too. ;) Will come back eventually. Maybe next patch, maybe later.

I killed a guy with one shot (improvised arrow, just the sharpened stick), but that's some patches ago. He was not geared and standing still. Distance about 10 meters. I was quite surprised that he died instantly, but who knows how healthy he was.

Maybe a silly question, but you guys are sure it's hypothermia and not hyperthermia?

Hiding corpses and carving them up is in the game for many months already.

Depends on your playstyle. Do you have firefights often, then go with the akm. Otherwise I would go with the blaze. Get the hunting scope and you can snipe people if that's something you like doing. Ammo should be easier to get for the blaze, too, but I haven't played the latest patch much to really know that. A lone wolf player living in the woods has no need for an akm. Like I said it depends on what you are doing in DayZ.

Would love to read it, but light green on white background is impossible to read. (The mobile version of the forum has a white background). I never understand why people change the font color in their posts.

As far as I know server admins can reset the server and this would delete camps, yes. A normal restart or maintenance would not delete it.

Theoretically public servers, too. But it can be difficult to find the same server sometimes. At least for me. Always best to find a good private server.

The courier bag gives you an invisible forcefield that stops incoming bullets, as you can see on the picture above.

Thanks for that explanation, as I was not aware of how exactly the pen worked. All I knew was that it can help to wake people up.But I still think it was a bit wasted in your case, since you were awake and bandaged already. So your blood level was higher than the shock damage and not likely to get lower if you wouldn't get shot again (another hit would have most likely killed instantly in that situation anyways). But better safe than sorry and do all you can to recover quickly, so I kinda understand now. :) Cheers

And I'm wondering how many accounts he has on these forums.

I want to pick up the "guns argument". I don't know the weapon laws in the land DayZ takes place, but if it's anything like in western Europe, then there wouldn't be many guns at all. Americans tend to think that it's normal to have multiple guns at home. Well, it's not!

Wow. Nice attitude. You could have learned a lot from his posts here. Come down from your high horse, sire.

I do agree with much you say, but the "zombies" in this game are not undead but infected humans. So who knows what they actually eat. They are well known for hunting and killing animals (when they can catch them). Maybe they are still able to eat other foods. Right now the infected are not a real threat. So with an abundance of supplies there would be even more pvp as there already is. DayZ has all those mechanics for farming, hunting, etc. so it's pretty sure that canned foods will get much rarer in the future. Still, I like your arguments and agree that hoarding (and greed) could bring conflicts in the real world.

Last time I did some farming (think it was in .55) there was no need for "fertilizer". Just needed something to dig, seeds and water. No idea if that has changed, though. When harvesting you get natural fertilizer, which only takes one slot in the inventory.

97 hours is nothing compared to the 1000+ hours those streamers have played. ;) Even I, with only 250 hours, had plenty of friendly encounters, but most were in the earlier days. I did team up only once with a random guy and didn't get betrayed. I escorted him across the map to find his friend, but we both died by a land mine at a well. (I spawned near the place and checked to make sure it wasn't him who killed me with a trap. Both our bodies were there, so he died as a true soul )

I guess it's time to take a break. I have been playing stable and experimental but it's just no fun anymore. I think my main problem is, that I don't care about dying anymore. When I started right after the alpha was released, I did everything to stay alive. It was exciting and a rush when you just survived an encounter (or died). Now it doesn't matter anymore. Got killed with very little gear, got a lucky spawn and after 10 minutes I have better things than I had before. It's not really about the still too easy looting, though. Not sure what they can do to make it more important to stay alive. I read about the soft skills and different looks when living longer. Not sure if that will help. How can you keep enjoying this game? I only have about 250 hours (but have played every patch since release).

Appreciate all your answers. True, running around and dieing all the time would be boring. But I'm not doing that. I mix it up. Sometimes I'm a farmer trying to survive only with natural recources (did that for over a week and never was found). Other times I try to find people and engage into conversation with them, etc... I always try out the new mechanics at least once. Love your style. Yes, I am still a "noob" compared to many other players, but I just don't have as much time as when I was younger. Now my "computer time" is limited and therefore more valuable, so I have to chose a game that will give me joy in a shorter time. DayZ can't give me that all the time. As I said I will follow the advice and take a break for some time. Cheers
